who bashed SF man and why do you feel the need to defend them? let them do that if they feel attacked. just because they bought ad space here does not make them exempt from criticism. SF's are Q boards from china, nothing fancy or hype about them. just another amazon Qboard now filling a void left behind my
mars-hydro or some other supplier that misunderstands how advertising works. i have unbranded Q-boards that look and run just as well as SF with all the same parts for less on the bay. as a matter of fact i can even order these lights and have my name stamped on em!! 'OG Lights' etc. as long as i have been here we have always been fair and honest with our advertisers and the feedback we offer to each other and the companies. our goal has never been to blindly support a adverister, but to help enlighten fellow growers through our experiences good or bad. as for me, i failed to listen to senior members around and bought my fair share of SF lights. yes they performed well enough i suppose, i started to ask myself is "well enough good enough for me". the answer was simple and i dumped my SF's and invested in the highest quality lights i could afford that checked the most boxes meeting my needs, SF was never on that list.
